I didn’t take this matter seriously, but eventually got a little flustered after dreaming of Quan Shaoze for a few days in a row.
I didn’t understand why I kept dreaming of this man who had hurt me time and again!
I was struck by a splitting headache after being tormented this way.
I was disturbed and sleepless throughout the night because of the speculations that had slowly emerged in my mind. I also constantly warned and reminded myself that I hated him.
At the same time, the indescribable feelings deep inside my heart were completely ignored by me.
The next day, I brought up to Quan Shaoze the topic of giving birth overseas as I didn’t want to go on like this.
My idea enraged him as I had expected, but he was the one who gave in this time.
Because there was no reason for him to object to it.
However, I didn’t expect that someone would cover my nose and mouth with a cloth the moment I walked out of the entrance of Quan Shaoze’s villa, and I fainted after getting a whiff of a pungent smell on the cloth.
But what shocked me even more was that I actually saw the long-dead Quan Jinnian when I woke up again!
“You…” I sat up startled and looked at the man with the same warm smile in front of me. I shook my groggy head to make sure that I wasn’t having illusions.
Seeing my behavior, Quan Jinnian let out a laugh and massaged my head, “Why, are you shocked?”
I nodded right away and asked him what had happened. Didn’t Quan Shaoze say that he was dead?
“Ha, you want to know?” He chuckled again, and his curved lips looked extremely captivating.
But right after I nodded wearily, he suddenly grabbed my neck and I almost couldn’t breathe.
“Then listen up!” his smiling face suddenly turned grim. He moved closer, and his eyes were ice-cold.
I panicked and tried to pull away the hand that was on my neck.
But right at this moment, the smile on his face came back again. He loosened the hand holding my neck and gently stroked my hair instead.
After catching my breath, I stared at him blankly while still moving towards the inside of the bed in fear, so as to keep my distance from him.
For a moment, I didn’t believe that the same person could have such a big difference in his behavior.
I found it even harder to believe that this was the Quan Jinnian I once knew.
But he just laughed and told me everything.
He told me that he was an illegitimate child, and knew that he didn’t have the inheritance rights since he was young. His parents had never cared about him as they doted on his younger brother.
He had left after faking his own death, and then gotten the assets through certain means. He had been against Quan Shaoze for the last few years, wanting to bring about the downfall of his company.
I was dumbfounded for a long while before asking him blankly why he chose to tell me all this.
“It doesn’t matter if you know, it wouldn’t affect anything anyway,” he chuckled and shook his head in an unconcerned manner.
I suddenly felt very uneasy as I caught sight of the grimness in his eyes.
I couldn’t imagine that a person who was as warm as the sun would become like this today.
He was no longer the same person.
“You’ve changed a lot,” I took a long time to say this out, and I looked at him with mixed emotions.
His face turned grim instantly, but he kept the smile on his face, “Really?”
As he moved closer to me with a cold smile, I shuddered with fear and moved towards the inside of the bed, nodding blankly.
Looking at the intense darkness in his eyes, I knew that he was really no longer the Quan Jinnian I had known.
